Christopher Andrew Tavera, the force behind Miami Skin Diver, represents modern-day fishermen at the highest caliber. After earning his MBA, he put his entrepreneurial abilities on display by dedicating thousands of hours in and on the water, relentlessly pursuing his passion for spearfishing. What began as a lifestyle quickly evolved into a full-fledged yacht management company, now overseeing more than 70 vessels. Leveraging years of hands-on experience and an unmatched understanding of these boats, Chris provides clients with comprehensive solutions—from expert guidance in buying and selling vessels to meticulous service and maintenance executed to the highest standard. His rare blend of business acumen and real-world maritime mastery sets a new benchmark in the yachting industry.

Having grown up on the island of Key Biscayne, FL, Chris explored the coastal Florida region off of a modest thirteen-foot Boston Whaler. The vessel offered him the rare and unique freedom to explore his love for boating at a young age and provided a solid foundation of skills on the water. At the age of twelve, spearfishing became the primary focus of his pursuits, taking him around the world.

It wasn’t long before he began showcasing the full spectrum of his talents—blending an intimate understanding of the ocean with a mastery of social media and underwater photography. With a rapidly growing and highly engaged following, Chris wields a rare advantage: the ability to capture his world with striking authenticity and visual impact. This sets him apart from traditional marine marketing, offering brands, buyers, and vessel owners a level of exposure and storytelling that competitors simply cannot match. The result is a powerful digital presence that has positioned him as one of the most visible and influential voices across fishing, diving, yacht management, and brokerage—cultivating relationships with nearly every major marine-related brand and organization in the industry.
